IPL 2018: Captains and their favorite oppositions

#6 – Dinesh Karthik (vs Delhi Daredevils)

Dinesh Karthik will look to get past his former team, Delhi Daredevils once again

Like Rahane, Dinesh Karthik too has had a blast more often than not against Delhi Daredevils than any other team. He has also played for them in the past. The newly anointed Kolkata Knight Riders captain and wicketkeeper-batsman has also tasted a fair bit of success against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings.

However, his overall average is in the late 20s. The reason why Daredevils has been chosen as his favorite opposition is that it is the only team against whom he averages 34.10 and has a strike rate of 147. His consistency and aggression stand out more.

So when Kolkata take on Delhi, Karthik could be the man to lead his team to the victory line once again.
